I have such loving memories of Judy, her sister, Ruth, and their parents, Carl and Kay Engler. We met back in the late 1960's here in Madison. I miss them all and send sympathy to the family and a reminder of the wonderful souls you descended from.

I am so very sorry for your loss, I had the pleasure of meeting Judy when I was in high school and working at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Lodi. Judy was so kind and generous to everyone. Her sweet spirit will be missed. - Whitney Beck
